My Grown Up Lunch 7/24/12

Here you go. It’s healthy. It’s easy. It’s fast. It only dirtied up one small skillet, one knife, and one small cutting board. It didn’t cost much to make. I made it to serve one.

Now what are your excuses for not bringing your own grown up lunch to work???

My Grown Up Lunch – 7/24/12

1 Beef Cube Steak

1 Bell Pepper

1/4 Yellow Onion

1 Heirloom Tomato

1 T Sweet Chili Sauce* – 10g carb

1 T BBQ Sauce – 10g carb

Salt and Pepper

1/2 Cucumber, sliced, bagged

1/4 C Almonds, raw, bagged

1 Medium Apple, not shown, after lunch snack

How to Prepare…

Spray some PAM on a small skillet and heat it up over med/high heat. Then put the hamburger steak seasoned with salt and pepper into the hot skillet.

Cut up the onions and peppers. Throw them in beside the hamburger steak. After 2-3 minutes stir the pepper/onion mixture and flip the steak.

At this point, add your large chunks of tomato to the skillet and don’t worry about stirring.

While this is cooking for the next 2-3 minutes, slice up your cucumber and bag it up. Measure out 1/4 c almonds and bag it up.

Then come back to your pan and add the BBQ sauce and Sweet Chili Sauce. Stir. Let simmer for 2-3 more minutes. Take off heat and get out the door. Grab an apple for a snack after lunch.

Not too shabby. You know how long it took me to cook this? 15 minutes. Start to finish. I know because I started at 7:30am and finished at 7:45am. I had to be to work by 8:00am, so I put it in a container and walked out the door.
